ACC Council of Presidents vow commitment to league

The ACC Council of Presidents issued a statement of commitment to the conference Thursday. Clemson President James Barker was one of the 15 presidents and chancellors to sign. Let’s see if this quells the talk of anyone else being poached from the league:

We, the undersigned presidents of the Atlantic Coast Conference, wish to express our commitment to preserve and protect the future of our outstanding league. We want to be clear that the speculation about ACC schools in negotiations or considering alternatives to the ACC are totally false. The presidents of the ACC are united in our commitment to a strong and enduring conference. The ACC has long been a leader in intercollegiate athletics, both academically and athletically, and the constitution of our existing and future member schools will maintain the ACC’s position as one of the nation’s premier conferences.”
